Thug Life

the plot had options; the brother of a gang-leader gets killed, the gang-leader wants revenge and sends his men out, to bring in the alleged killers while they try to escape from enemy territory. So far nothing wrong, a bit standard maybe but okay. in this movie, the gang-leader is some sort of religious leader who's main purpose in this movie seems to be making his followers scream "kingpins, till death". After watching them do this for 2 minutes, I kind of got the idea and when they repeated it several times during the movie it really became frustrating. the acting of the main characters wasn't really bad but it did not bring the movie to a higher level either. the action scenes where completely rubbish, guns without triggers, punches that where nowhere near the enemy, knifes that clearly did not penetrate. I'm usually not somebody who notices these details, but in this movie they can't be missed. When it comes to sound effects i think they overdone it. At one point a person is supposedly hit by a arm flying half a meter away from it but it sounded like somebody drove a car in a building.

I recommend everybody to watch this movie. buy lots of alcohol and invite your friend. You will probably laugh the entire movie about everything that sucks.

i had nothing better to do one night so i rented this movie,it started of great but then ,the corny martial arts,with bad sound effects,the Lady Of Rage character sounds as if she is reading all the time , well so does most of the cast

also how is it that the gang leader seems to have no real martial arts skills ,but can beat down everyone?

how does these movies get the green light ,it make me want to get a cam corder and do a movie or go to film school,

even though you laugh for the wrong reason,these types of movie are a insult to intelligence as well as a comedy

It's hard to know whether this film is a drama or a comedy. On the one hand, it's serious because the film tries to make the point that living like a thug isn't what you want to do. Yet, the film is sometimes funny with the over the top martial arts scenes and it seems to overshadow the point of the film. Maybe the director, Greg Carter, wanted to show the dark thug life in a lighter light so that people would get the point. Either way, the film is entertaining and funny at times and the point that Greg Garter is supposedly willing to make is not lost on its audience.

"I didn't kill yo' friend, man." "It don't matter, killa."

Finally, someone makes a movie tru 2 life in da hood. Stuff like dis happen in my hood like everyday. It's about a kung fu master who run a clique up in da hood, and a few brothas get caught up in da game when his brotha get killed and these brothas is thought to have done it. The kung fu master send his clique to find tha innocent brothas, and they on da run. Dis same thing happen to my cousin last month.

Tha acting is good. It talk all about da struggle in da hood to get out of da hood, and all da kung fu fights in da hood. The main guy got moves, but da kung fu master think he killed his brotha, so he wanna kill him, but he say "I win, I walk. It's da code."

Finally, someone make a movie tru 2 life and tru 2 da code in da hood. Play on, playa! Keep making movies!

I rented this movie expecting a regular, thug/gang life movie like many others that had scenes of gunbattles, hip-hop personality and regular drama and criminal activity. But even besides that, this movie sucked. It had no plot, the acting was terrible, and it was pointless. It was like a film on Afghan clans fighting pointlessly over run-down territory, except for this movie had no action whatsoever and it was not funny at all, so its not an action or comedy film. What is it then? I don't know, but don't see this horrible movie. Rent Menace 2 Society or Juice instead.
